Haha, hello Mike, nostalgic, aren't you? ;-))
A great shot, very nice colour range and moment caught. Wonder where their gaze is directed, they seem to be bogged down by something to the right. Great moment, nice to see you post again. HOw's life?

Hi Mike
Excellent composition with the tight framing of these sharp soldiers, their position just behind the yellow cross in between the tram tracks and the look on their faces. I didn't know people wore kilts in Canada. The dov is really good, can just make out the Starbucks sign behind. The wet road creates an interesting texture too.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Mike,
Remembering last year ;-) I like how the colors pop out here when, I guess, it was a grey gloomy day.
It looks very "polished".
Nice one,
Nicolas

The quality really is the strongest part of this image, with its strong reds jumping out at us (which the background bokeh only adds to) and glistening appearance due to the wet ground. Excellent shot.

Welcome back canadian boy ;-) great vivid colors and i love that yellow cross on the floor! perfect focus and great bokeh in the BG!
Ah! when the saints go marching in...!

Welcome back! how have you been?
Eric
